Megatron is the main protagonist of the Shattered Glass continuity of the Transformers franchise. He is the heroic leader of the Decepticons.
Biography[]
Megatron was a young mathematician who lectured at a university in Polyhex. Because of this, he noticed a disturbing trend in the numbers: civil war was certain. His colleagues just called him crazy and laughed it off, but when the maniacal Optimus Prime and his evil army of Autobots took over Cybertron, Megatron had been waiting in the underground, forming a resistance movement called the Decepticons to take back Cybertron and keep the Autobots from conquering the universe and plundering it, as they had done to Cybertron. Megatron even invented the art of transforming to counter the Autobots military superiority. When an attempted coup by Alpha Trion resulted in one of his trusted soldiers assassinating him, Megatron was resurrected by Nexus Prime into an even more powerful form known as Galvatron. Fueled by both the power of the 13 and a vision of a healed, peaceful Cybertron granted to him in the Allspark, he is now an even more determined and powerful adversary to the evil Autobots, though the betrayal he suffered sometimes still haunts him. In both forms, he can wield the mighty Rumbler tank, his weapon of choice.
Personality[]
In contrast to Megatron from the original universe, in this universe, Megatron is portrayed as a noble-hearted figure who serves as a role model for all Cybertronian races. Unlike most incarnations of Megatron, he is very wise and even cares for his comrades. Megatron has shown the respect and love for all life, and even forgives Cyclonus and allows him to rejoin, even after the latter killed him. Likewise, he greatly cares about his Decepticons; a far cry from his mainstream universe version.

After been resurrected as Galvatron, he even more compassion and wisdom to his subordinates.
